When labeling the photos it is important to at least write the first and last names of everyone in the photo. When you are writing a females name it is ideal to write their maiden name in parenthesis and then their married last name after the maiden name. If the approximate date and place the photo was taken, that can also be helpful to add that to the back of the photo also.
If there is pictures without any people in the photo try to see if you can find an older relative that may know some history of the photo. For example if the picture is of a house but you don’t recognize it, it is best to try to gain information on why this photo is important to the family.
When putting these photos in albums for organization, make sure to use acid free pages so that the photos stay nice for many years. Acid pages can sometimes eat at the photos over time that they are in the albums.
